Growing up in the surrounding area I never thought of fishing as a
hobby, or sport. It was just something
you did, more like a way of life. Spending summers at the family cottage
on an area lake there wasn't much else to do except fish.
Chucking hardware with my Zebco 202 most of the day produced a
largemouth or two if I was lucky. This quickly became tiresome
especially
after watching the old timer from the cottage down on the corner go out
in the evening and catch half a dozen bass in a couple of hours
with his fly rod. Then there was uncle Bud. When I first saw him catch a
large brown on a local stream with his bamboo rod so many years ago.
I knew fly fishing was what I was meant to do."

Meeting time is 7pm, at the DAR House on 8th Ave in Bethlehem. (just past Nitschmann Middle School). Free and open to the public.
